Per the same report, Ilic was detained by the law enforcement authorities during the evening. The portal states that he first tried to run away from the police, but he was caught, detained, and then it was determined that he had an alcohol level of 0.17% in his blood. Two Ministry of Internal Affairs cars were allegedly involved in the pursuit.

Currently, Ilic, 58, has the longest tenure in Crvena Zvezda, considering that he has held the position of team manager since 2001. He won the Serbian league in 1993 as a player, and from 2004 to 2006, when Crvena Zvezda won the Radivoj Korac Cup, until today, when the club has won 15 more titles across all competitions, he's served as the team manager.

Since 2010, Ilic has also been the team manager of the Serbian national team.
